The only reason I've been in crypto for 12+ years is bc it's constantly teaching me about my own psychology and about coordinating large groups of hoomans

Biggest takeway = incentives are everything

literally everything

If you want to know why something is the way it is in the world, simply look at the incentives

It's a profound shift in thinking. Up to now, most powerful groups have used rules (the stick) to get hoomans to act a certain way...

crypto proves that incentives (the carrots) are just as powerful as rules... I'm optimistic that every system we interact with (our govts, corporations, schools, healthcare, etc) will eventually be redesigned to include more carrots and fewer sticks

Rules are first-order thinking

Incentives are second-order

"more carrots and fewer sticks"

SassyHash 💅 Rewards succeeds with carrots, we show in public that we have no sticks. 

Individuals offer carrots (views+likes); keep limited sticks (mute, ignore, tune out)
